The Inspiration

This room by Austin, TX based architectural firm Tim Cuppett has a lot going on. It's dark and historic, with rustic architectural elements like pine shutters and clapboard.

It's the turkish touches, though, that elevate it to really something special in my book. The rug and fouta-inspired throw and pillows seem to bind it all together.
